Discovery Questions

  • On page 75 chapter 20 begins. It talks about Kathy. Kathy doesn't like anyone. Why do you think that is? If you met someone like Kathy, what could you do to make friends with them? Talk about it with a parent.
  • Mrs. Gorf uses magic to turn children into apples. Think of another story where magic is used. Use a Venn diagram. How are the stories alike? How are they different? Share your diagram with a parent.
  • On page 64 the chapter about DJ starts. He says, "You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy." Do you think this is TRUE? Talk about it with a parent.
  • Pick one chapter from this book, and re-tell the story using only pictures - like a comic strip but without words. Share your drawings with a parent.

Discovery Questions are available in 100+ languages in the app.
